Max Holloway says ‘80 to 90 percent of the world’ thought he beat Alexander Volkanovski

This weekend Max Holloway makes his return to Fight Island as he takes on Calvin Kattar in a pivotal featherweight showdown. The winner of their fight is likely to earn a shot at the title, which is currently being held by Alexander Volkanovski.

Holloway knows the champion very well, having spent the last 50 minutes of his cage time opposite the Australian. The pair first met at UFC 245 in December 2019, with Holloway defending his UFC featherweight title. After five rounds of action the judges unanimously scored the fight in favour of Volkanovski.

Holloway scored an immediate rematch with Volkanovski, which went down at UFC 251 in Abu Dhabi last July.
